Many seniors and their families use some form of financial assistance to help them pay for nursing care. The main options available are Medicare, Medicaid and veterans benefits. These programs can be complicated, especially when it comes to benefit terms. Below, we give a brief overview of how these programs may be used towards paying for skilled nursing care.
If these options aren't available to you, check if your loved one has long-term care insurance or contact your Area Agency on Aging to ask about local financial assistance programs for seniors.
Nursing home care is the costliest senior living option due to the high level of medical care offered. Seniors who don't need such intensive care can consider lower-cost options. Adult day health care is the most affordable at $1,381 on average. Assisted living provides personal care for around $3,945. Seniors who want to remain at home pay an average of $5,005 for both in-home care and home health care.
